3 Ways to Spot a Premium Supplement

Supplement companies exist to exploit you and take your money. Spending your dollars on a poor product that does more harm than good is something most customers will come across once or twice.

If the above sounds like something you want to avoid, and you’d rather be spending your money on supplements that allow you to reach your goals (fat loss, muscle building, sports performance, whatever) then read on…

Once you’ve gotten used to shopping around for sports supplements there are a few money saving ways to Spot a supplement worth investing In.

Sadly, these top 3 tips at finding a Premium Supplement don’t always work, but more often than not it’ll pay off and you may even find a supplement you can use for the rest of your fitness days.

#1 Look at the brand

Great branding, from a big company

Seems obvious, but can be pretty tricky. You need to look beyond the packaging and look who makes the product.

If the parent company or brand behind it have a range, they are more likely to produce effective products. Why?

Companies with a single supplement will often disappear when they’ve made their money. It’s a quick way to make cash then leave, without having much tied up in stock and minimal effort in the first place.

MusclePharm are a classic example of a company that can be trusted not to kill you with their products. Some solid companies can be harder to Spot – take Roar Ambition for example.

A few ways to Spot if a full brand is trustworthy:

Do they have a blog

Is their site more than one page

Have they got athlete endorsements

Do they have an active social media presence

Have they got live chat and do they respond

Whilst you may think some of these are customer service points, if a brand has good customer service they generally have a bit of money behind them. This means the supplement has been well invested in and will more likely work…there are always sadly some exceptions.

#2 Look at the packaging and the blend

You may remember the old saying, never judge a book by it’s cover. Well ignore that for this point.

If a product looks good, it’s had money invested in it. If it’s had money invested in it, it’s more likely made up of better and expensive components.

When a products packing looks like it’s been made by a child, you know you’re probably getting something slightly dodgy.

However we’re not just talking weird logos here, but also the list of ingredients on the back.
